The main purpose of this paper is to analyze the robust stability for a fuzzy vehicle steering control system. In general, fuzzy control system is a nonlinear control system. Therefore, the fuzzy controller may be linearized by the use of describing function first. After then, parameter plane method is then applied to determine the conditions of robust stability when the system has perturbed or...

The NASA Langley Research Center, in cooperation with the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, participated in a preliminary design study of the Entry, Descent and Landing phase for the Mars Smart Lander Project. This concept utilizes advances in Guidance, Navigation and Control technology to significantly reduce uncertainty in the vehicle landed location on the Mars surface. A candidate entry vehicle co...

In this paper, the phase of aircraft landing associated to the lateral-directional plane is discussed and a new automatic control system is developed; it takes into consideration the crosswind and the sensor errors. H-inf control and the dynamic inversion concept are used because the first mentioned technique handles very well the system uncertainties providing robust stability, while the good ...

this paper deals with the design and evaluation of a robust controller for static var compensator (svc) in remote industrial power systems to enhance the voltage profile for three-phase single cage induction motor (scim) loads. the controller design is based on h∞ theory to deal with uncertainties arising in industrial network modelling. the performance of the h∞ controller has been evaluated e...

In this paper, an efficient method is presented to control the attitude of a satellite with ON-OFF actuator. The main objective of this novel method is to control the amplitude of the limit cycle which commonly appears in the steady state of such systems; and at the same time by consideration of real actuator constraints, reduce the fuel consumption of system. The Proposed method is a combinati...

facts technology has considerable applications in power systems, such as; improving the steady stateperformance, damping the power system oscillations, controlling the power flow, and etc. statcom is oneof the most important facts devices used in the parallel compensation, enhancing transient stability andetc. since three phase fault is widespread in power systems, in this paper statcom is used...

The ability to perform different tasks by a serial manipulator mounted on legged robots, increases the capabilities of the robot. The position/force control problem of such a robot in the stance phase with point contacts on the ground is investigated here. A target plane with known stiffness is specified in the workspace. Active joints of the legs and serial manipulator are used to exert the de...

the interline power flow controller (ipfc) is a concept of the facts controller for series compensation which can inject a voltage with controllable magnitude and phase angle among multi lines. this paper proposes a novel ipfc-based damping neuro-control scheme using pso for damping oscil la t i o ns in a power system to improve power system stability. the add i tion of a supplementary controll...
